Among Criminals
Among Criminals Philadelphia-based band Among Criminals. Their eclectic sound, and explosive live show made them a hit with audiences everywhere. In their first 18 months, Among Criminals has accomplished more than most bands ever have. They have played 375+ shows, regional and national tours that were booked by the band themselves, and two self-produced self-recorded full-length albums that can clearly show the bands evolution even in a short period of time. Their diverse sound makes them a hit whether on a punk bill, or a night filled with deadheads and tie-dye. No matter what, the band sticks out enough to reach more and more people with every performance. Much like their newest release “Happy History”, which briefly sits in the sun-soaked island rhythms of the Carribean, only to turn a corner to Rock music too heart-felt to be labeled progressive, yet too complex to be considered “modern rock”. The songs range from a more aggressive ‘60s protest sound, to a cry of a humanitarian, or stories of love and compassion. The band proves to be more than 3 dimensional, both on stage and on record. “Bounce with brains: the reggae moves your hips; their lyrics� feed� your mind.” - Joe Student, Philly Edge
